This piece is close to my heart. We often think of kindness at work as something soft, moral, or even optional. But the research tells a deeper story โ our acts of generosity are also powerful strategic signals that shape reputation, influence, and organizational culture.

When kindness becomes visible, it doesnโt just feel good โ it can shift power, elevate those with less voice, and reshape how teams collaborate. Writing this with Prof. Ena was a tremendous learning experience โ blending behavioural science, leadership, and real-world organizational dynamics.
Grateful for:
- Prof Enaโs mentorship and partnership
- The LBS editorial team
- Everyone who believes in building workplaces where kindness isnโt an afterthought, but a lever for trust, equity, and growth
If the topic resonates, Iโd love to hear your reflections. Hereโs to more research, writing, and conversations that move us toward better workplaces โจ
